Explore "The Year 22" by George Rippey Stewart on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
One late afternoon Ish was talking with Joey, or actually they were continuing Joey's education by means of play-school. Ish had collected some money, and was teaching Joey a little about history and the old economics. Joey liked the bright jingly nickels with the figure of the strange humped animal. As a young child would have done even in the Old Times, he preferred the nickels to the uninteresting bills with their picture of a bearded man who looked something like Uncle George. Ish was trying to find ways to explain.
Just as he thought he had put the point across, he heard a strange and yet old and familiar sound. He lifted his head and waited tensely, mouth open to listen. It came again, much closer-the toot-a-toot-toot of a horn!
